one Of the hest known men in town. lie
was gambler BY profession and a fighter
Of considerable /, uown. A couple Of years
ago he got into fight with another gamb-
Ter who literally cut him TO pieces with a
huge bowie knife As he fell on the side
walk some one rushed up, and seeing his
condition, cried out, "Send for doctorr
Oh, never mind the doctor, gasped Larry,
send for priest. With careful rursing
Larry pulled through, but he never was the
same man agan-he wandered about from
place to place like a ghost, and finally died
in Nassau a couple Of weeks ago.
After bitter struggle the Women Suf-
fragists haye finally triumphed in the Senate
of New York. Now for the Lower House
ard then for the Governor. SO far the
women have done well they haye steadily
battled for their rights and they have won
their way, step by step, from darkness TO
daylight. The men who are so afraid of
women's voting ought to take a turn down
through the lower wards of New York and
Brooklyn. Look at the brutal, drunken
material that decides our Municipal, State
and national Election! Look at the vile
crew that sent Tim Campbell to Congress
and helped to make Fatty Walsh the
guardian Of the Tombs. The most respect
able and intelligent club in New York to-
day is a women's club. Some of the best
work In journalism and art is done by
women. In medicine there are dozens of
women here who hold their own with the
best Of our medical faculty, and wherever
an avenue has been opened for her she has
improved it and done well. 1t is but a
poor compliment to our mothers, our wives,
our sisters and our daughters to say that VIC
are not willing to give the Same privileges
to them that we accord to the Ignorant
rabble who crowd our great cities and decide
our elections. One women like Catherine
Wolf, or Jennie June, or Mrs. DR.. Lozicl
only idea of American suffrage is, how
much it can be sold for at the polls.
, A lively sensation occurred early in the
. week in a suburb of Brooklyn. a ricl
gentleman named Woolsey had fin,
country seat and employed coachnan who
handled the ribbons to perfection. Th'
r coachman had nice wife and two children
and as he seemed to lead life above re
| proach and had a fine baritone voice, Ii,
G soon distinguished himself in the yillag,
= choir and lie was proposed for one of th
decons. He complained to Mr.. Woolse.
p that the moral character Of his assistau
shocked him; whereupon the footman wa
discharged and the coachman was com
nissioned 20 hire another, which he did
, he soon found footman, a pleasant ycun!
\ chap who became quite favorite will
!. everybody, and with no one more than tn
d coachman. Wherever the boy went tn
S coachman went, and wherever the coach
: man went the boy went They took loni
e evening rides together, and on two or thre
K occasions they were detained all night ol
